    Cancellation Policy

    Cancellations within 48 hours of your tour are non-refundable. We do not cancel due to weather until about one hour before departure. If conditions are deemed unsafe by the captain and they cancel, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.

    FAQs

    Arrive at the shop 10–15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

    Bring water, sunglasses or a hat, sunscreen, and a jacket in cooler months. Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet.

    There is no long-term parking in front of the shop at 83 Center Street; use it only for quick drop-off and pick-up. If you need to park for the duration of the tour, park at the public boat landing and avoid trailer-only spaces.

    With an impressive track record of consistently happy guests, this boat tour operation has clearly mastered the art of showing off Charleston's waterways. The captains, particularly Davis, Will, and Richard, earn praise not just for their piloting skills but for their engaging personalities and deep knowledge of the area. Guests rave about abundant dolphin sightings, including the special treat of watching strand feeding, plus opportunities to hunt for shark teeth and shells at Morris Island. The experience seems flexible enough to work for different occasions, from family outings with young kids to bachelorette parties. Popular offerings include tours to Morris Island Lighthouse and the Outer Banks filming locations, and captains appear genuinely enthusiastic about sharing local wildlife and history. The vibe is relaxed yet attentive, with thoughtful touches like good music playlists adding to the overall enjoyment. It's the kind of tour where repeat customers keep bringing their visiting friends back.
